Is there that one suit that fits you best? Groom fashion has been documented much less than women’s dresses throughout history, but this does not mean men’s suits have stopped evolving. In 1975, a groom was required to dress up just as extravagantly as a woman on their wedding day. Often luxury materials like silk, velvet and pearls were used for this special day.

The Morning Dress
The style of wedding fashion changed after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s famous wedding in 1840. On that day, the Prince wore a field marshal’s uniform. This tradition is still exercised at royal weddings, up until this day. Prince also wore a morning suit which resulted in an influx of popularity for this garment. After that, the morning suit became very popular. Since 1850, Tail suits have been the standard outfit for weddings.
The Stresemann Style
The Stresemann-style suit was created in 1920 and became very popular among grooms. It shares some features with the morning suit, the difference being the shorter jacket without the tails.
Tuxedo for Weddings
In 1930, the British launched the first tuxedos on the market. Members in exclusive clubs first wore them; later on, it became a popular presentative wear for any and all gentleman.
Current Wedding Fashion

Raw / Bohemian style
If the bride has chosen a bohemian-styled dress, characterized by laces used in the wedding dress and generally a more relaxed look, then this style is probably the right fit. As a groom, you could opt for a suit made of linen or any other textured fabric. To nail this raw look, go for earthy colors like
camel or brown tones. Skip the tie, this will emphasize the relaxed bohemian lifestyle. Instead, wear a lovely waistcoat and finish your look with a matching pocket square.
